Hey! I was looking into dual enrollment at Cypress College next year. I want to ensure my senior year isn't overkill but still want to get college credits. What online classes there are considered a breeze by most?
Most students find the experience of taking a course easy or difficult to be subjective, as it largely depends on their interests, skills, and the amount of time they're willing to devote to the course. That being said, I've heard students saying that Beginner's Keyboarding (CIS-111C), Principles of Microeconomics (ECON-101), Art Appreciation (ART 110), and Principles of Human Communication (COMM-100) are relatively straightforward at Cypress College.
Beginner's Keyboarding is meant to teach basic typing skills and can be useful if you don't have previous typing knowledge. Principles of Microeconomics gives an overview of economic principles without delving too much into math, which can make it easier than some other classes. Art Appreciation involves discussing and understanding different art forms and is considered enjoyable by many. Principles of Human Communication involves studying human communication principles, including different types of interpersonal interactions, which is applicable to daily life and thus can feel quite relevant.
Still, I'd recommend choosing classes that align with your future goals and interests. This strategy tends to make coursework seem more enjoyable and less burdensome, even if the class is challenging. Remember, everyone's academic interest and aptitude vary, so what seems easy for one may not necessarily be easy for another. Good luck with your dual enrollment at Cypress College!
